See Gary Reese's Lens Test page it contains really good info.

I own both a 28 f/3.5 and 24 f/2.8 and considered each to be excellent
wide-angle lenes. I find the 28 to be slightly better for setting up
quick shots. The 24 (which I've had for only a few months) takes a
little more planning and fiddling to get the perspective right. IMHO I'd
take both each on its own body. ;-)
